NIU FLRP 50th Anniversary Celebration

Saturday, Sept. 24

For 50 years, the Foreign Language Residence Program has provided NIU students an opportunity to learn and explore languages and cultures as part of a caring, diverse community. Regardless of the decade, the hallmarks of FLRP were a constant -- evening dinners, retreats at Loredo Taft and cultural excursions, international dinners, living on the FLRP floors and study abroad activities.

Join us as we celebrate 50 years of FLRP, and pay tribute to our founder, Dr. Raymond Tourville. Re-connect with your fellow FLRPies, visit campus and enjoy entertainment by current FLRPies and NIU students!
